The Defect In Sleep

Who has invented day? 
Does the same entity invented night? 
If so, then, the same must have invented sleep 
That covers us like a cloak and becomes a means 
To hungry to avoid hunger or provides drink to thirsty 
Peace to those who are disturbed 
Rest to those who are tired 
Healing to wounded 
And makes an equal a beggar to a king 
A proud to humble, all wonderful men to an ordinary 
But it has one defect and that is it has similarities to death 
Since there is little difference between a dead 
And a man who is asleep 
Is that defect created on purpose? 
If so, then, who is its creator? 
Is it that entity that never touches sleep or death?
